Light Bringer

Mininova the site which host thousands of torrent seed has finally come to an end when the court order them to remove all non content based distribution. Javtalk have the same fate too but more drasticly. The entire site is gone!! Will the world become a better place without these 2 sites? well let wait and see.

We are invited to Royal Selangor Pewter in Setapak for the Olympus EP2 Gathering.(more like a prelaunch thingy) 1. Venue 4/5 (too far) 2. Food 5/5 (the cafe food is superb. Hagen Diaz ice cream. rum + raisin is yummy.) 3. Experience 4/5 (they loan us the EP2 to shoot. too bad no babes to shoot) My view on Ep2 1. The Diorama effect is superb. Good for photoshop noob like me. Any tom dick and harry cna produce a tilt shift lens effect. 2. The viewfinder is incredible. Very large and crispy. however viewfinder + EP2 make the overall look not cool. I still prefer the ala EP1 overall vintage look. 3. The AF is not improve in any way. I still feel that both Ep2 and EP1 AF speed is the same. 4. Price ?? is a turn off.. You are paying extra for the view finder. 5. The color shift effect is cool too. another nice add on to the art filter Conclusion I would not dump my EP1 for the EP2 Disclaimer.:- All image taken using Olympus Ep-2 is using a pre production unit and firmware. So the quality mig...

Well i tried out Olympus EP1 + 70-300 for birding. Not too bad actually. The high iso really helps here. Autofocus as usual is slow but you have to anticipate the movement of the bird. But the weight of the EP1 +70-300 is really light.!! it is a very compact setup. Try comparing a D700 + 600mm lens and you will know what i mean. Having say that i does not mean EP1 is better than D700. What i am trying to say is for casual shooter the EP1+70-300 is sufficient. If you are a commercial shooter by all mean get the D700.

Today i try a new restaurant in Kota Damansara. Restaurant Key Way. I order 3 dishes. The "Pai Kuat Wong" is nice. Fish Fillet with Ginger is also ok. But the "famed taufu" sucks... Food: i rate it 3.4 over 5 Service: 5 over 5 cause it is fast!! Environment: 2 over 5 (a typical kopitiam restaurant design)
